      Perez, I usually love your website, and I come to this website to get tidbits on the "fruits and nuts" of our society. I don't come to the website to be inundated w/ political minutea. Adios, Perez….you have "lost my vote." I am done with you. BTW, if I wanted to see info about the presidential campaigns…I would logon to any one of the news media websites…NOT a "Gossip" website.

      Wow, I had no idea that DRUG USE has become an ACCEPTABLE criteria for presidential candidates (or their families). First Obama, now this guy's wife.

      It appears that any cokehead, heroin junkie or pill-popper can run for president these days.

      Im disappointed in our society. Are we really lowering our standards to this?

      back of the wife, perez. i love u & really dislike republicans, but blame his old wrinkly ass for leaving his first wife for a trust fund baby….NOT this lady. AND eventhough we may not all have troubles w/narcotics…we all have skeletons in our closets…she's in the public eye, i get that, but forgive and move the fuck on.

      She definately needs a make-up artist. Her foundation is too dark for her… her neck is white. Not because of the make-up, but, eveythime I see a picture of her, she gives me the creeps.

      After reading that I actually like her. She admitted she had a problem, and managed to get over it. She seems to have a good heart adopting that girl. She isn't a trainwreck, just human.

      This guy is such a creep. His first wife stuck by him even when he was a prisoner of war and then he comes back. She gets into a car accident(she was a model by the way) and he dumps her.

      Wife number 1 good on you for getting rid of that sorry ass. Your the first lady, not Cindy.

      She IS a trainwreck! A friend of mine was married to a friend of John's and has been around Cindy on several occasions. My friend said that everyone in their circle knew that Cindy would abuse illegal substances, including cocaine.

      114

      Full disclosure: I'm a Mitt Romney supporter so obviously I disagree strongly with McCain on a variety of issues. HOWEVER, McCain is war hero, and a man deserving of a great amount of respect. I can't see how any personal problems his wife has dealt with in the past is relevant to his presidential campaign. But then again…does anyone really expect Perez to be respectful or fair to people he disagrees with?

      Why is she a trainwreck? She had a problem and dealt with it. Can't be easy being married to A) a politician who B) spent several years in a Vietnamese POW camp.

      129

      Are you really trying to talk about trainwreck political spouses? Really?

      Because Hilary Clinton is married to a man who GOT A BLOW JOB IN THE FREAKIN OVAL OFFICE. Surely that is much worse than the things you are searching for digging through UK trash.

      Both of the Clintons are poor role models. Try to remember that John McCain has been though a whole hell of a lot and has far fewer skeletons in the closet than the Clintons.

      Really, if this is the best you can do - pick on his wife and his kids, than we're in luck.

      I want to warn all Democrats and our OBAMA supporters…The Republican Right is out to get us again…They have found one of OBAMA"s college room mates (now a Republican) and as soon as OBAMA wins the Democatic nomination- they are going to pull "another Lewinski" on the American public…apperently OBAMA's old roomie will admit to the PRESS that he witnessed OBAMA snorting & even dealing Cocaine to several of his close friends in their shared dorm room!!!…The Republican's hope to sway the independent vote and the undecidedes with this shocker… They are betting that the fallout will put John Mc Cain over the top and will win him election for President.
      I think this may be a false rumour but Obama did admit his Cocaine Use and I think we have to take this admission by Obama very seriously…It may come back to bite him…if this roomate story is true I don't think the Republican's are going to leave this Drug issue alone!!!

      FUTUTRE - Correct Spelling: future

      BTW - your grammar and punctuation skills are lacking as well.
      Helpful Tip: When you have reached maturity and manners with regard to the older, smarter generation, by all means come back and enlighten us with your skills. In the meantime, take your youthful ignorance and stuff it where the sun doesn't shine.
      Thank God the voting age is 18. You must have at least 5 years left.
      p.s. If you have a smart mouth in your day to day life like you do online, then your days are surely numbered as well. John McCain will most certainly outlive your immature, but youthful ass.

      She doesn't exactly seem like a train wreck. She had an addiction to prescription pills, but she eventually got caught and treatment for the addiction (which I commend her for, because lets face it, not many people get clean and stay clean). Unfortunately a lot of families in this country have someone who has struggled with addiction, and for me, this makes the McCain family seem more human to me. It shows how strong they are because they stuck together and worked through a rough situation that causes many families to fall apart. I am by no means a Republican, but if we have to be stuck with another Republican president, I would rather it be McCain then any of those other extremists! Romney and Huckabee scare the shit out of me!

      McCain and his wife should be able to take the tarnish off of the Republican party.

      141

      I'm sorry I never comment on Perez, and I voted democrat in the SC primaries, but PEREZ: your headline is totally false. That article does not depict her as a trainwreck, but a woman who has overcome everyday obstacles such as gossip and addiction. Just because you don't like her "war hero"(am I the only one who remembers the last Presidential election when it came out that he was 'off his rocker?!?! I was young too!) husband, doesn't mean you should bash her. Who cares if she married an old man, it's not like it was for money….maybe he has big ole c*ck

      There's nothing new in this article. Anyone who hasn't had their head buried in the tabloids for the past decade should know about all of this already. It's been open public knowledge for a long time.

      143

      Cindy is 54 or so years old and looks like a china doll. She's beautiful. As an RN, I can tell you that many "good" people get hooked on pain killers - take a look at Liz Taylor, you don't diss her! It's just as difficult to get off them (after a few days of ingesting them) for some people as it is to get off heroin or coke. Cut us some slack, Perez, the freaking Clintons are guilty of sooooo many things - like, don'tcha recall them backing a truck up to the White House and taking furniture, china, all kinds of stuff to stock their house in NY? And talk about carpetbaggers - phony as all get out. She's as much a New Yorker as I am. I hope she wins the nomination so that every single Republican will get out the vote just to keep her OUT. Ugly fat butt~

      She needs to prove to the public that she's no longer a drug addict and that she's no longer stealing drugs from charities. She needs to be regularly tested for drugs, including meth and crack. She needs to swear to the public that she never manufactured crystal meth in the McCain home, and that she never sold her body for crack. She also needs to go on television and apologize to all the charities she stole drugs from, and promise that she will never again do drugs, including crystal meth and crack. If she does these things, she can be considered a valid first lady. Otherwise, we'll never trust her. CINDY: COME CLEAN, BABY. IT'S TIME!

      It's funny that you talk about John McCain's wife being addicted to pain killers 20 years ago when she is not the one asking to be President but you don't talk about Obama being a drug addict doing hard core stuff and he is the one asking to be President, funny how your bias is as stupid as you are.

      148

      Ok Perez, so a decade ago she was addicted to painkillers- no problem, Obama, which is running for president, (she si not) was addicted to drugs.-

      She was with McCain while he was married, so was president Clinton with a bunch of women, he even received oral sex in the oval office.-

      I don't give a shit about this woman, SHE IS NOT RUNNIGN FOR PRESIDENT, MC CAIN is.- And he was a naval officer and forever a hero.-

      The american people hate this type of hate toward candidate mates.-It's ugly.-

      i am not voting for mccain but i respect him as an american hero. we are all flawed & i actually think that the article made cindy look like a nice, caring person & i know she quietly does a lot off good work for those less fortunate. at least john was separated from his wife & cindy wasn't a washington intern. why don't you post some of the scandals surrounding the clintons. those folks are evil… let's talk about bill's ties to communism, what about vince foster and whitewater… you don't think the clintons had him killed… there are so many erie stories surrounding the deaths of people once associated with the clintons that make any other political scandal pale in comparison. perez i am so sick of your liberal bias. we don't come to this site for your political bashing of republicans & praise of the left. i am fine with you reporting what goes on politically but you need to leave the spin off. better yet, just stick to the celebrity stuff. this site should be light & not filled with political bs.

      Why would Perez call Mrs. McCain a "trainwreck?" She is a 53 year old woman who has made mistakes as we all have. Her husband is running for office, not her. Some of the comments people have made are insensitive and without merit (i.e. "She is a druggie. B…ch needs a facelift." Not constructive political comments! Democrat, Republican, or Independent..let's talk the issues and not demeaning personal issues!

      Ok Perez…you are not a very good journalist. Stick to reporting about Hollywood types and stay out of politics. Did you mention John McCain was a POW in Vietnam?? How he was tourtured and survived 5 years in a prison camp? Why don't you give all sides of the story before you report these things. Obviously you're for Hillary Clinton. She's a strong and intelligent woman, no argument there. But if you are going to start reporting on politics report both pros and cons about Democrats and Republicans, not just what you believe in or who you want to win. People will respect you a little more…

Just because she is a Republican you want to trash her….yet you love and support Amy Winehouse, the biggest piece of trash next to Paris Hilton. Winehouse is the trainwreck, not Cindy McCain.
